Zentangle and Clay
January 15, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$50
What could be more fun and more relaxing than combining clay with Zentangle! Join certified Zentangle instructor Donna Spencer, and potter Virginia Wood, to make a stoneware platter on which you will incorporate the mindful art of Zentangle and the rewards of working with clay. You will take a lump of clay, turn it into a beautiful platter, and then glaze it like a skilled artist – all with no experience necessary!
This class is going to be so much fun! I met Donna when I ran Gallery 529 in Littleton. She sold her Zentangle artwork at the gallery, which was very well received by all! I have been teaching pottery for decades to folks of all ages. It wasn’t until the other day I was doodling on one of my pots, in an attempt to glaze it in a different manner than I ever had. It occurred to me, there was a much better strategy out there and called Donna.
The class will start out with you making the platter. Then you will join Donna to learn 5 Zentangle designs which you will practice, and a 6th you can choose from a selection she will have. After you have mastered your designs, you will return to glaze your platter, using those designs!
The class will take the full 3 hours, so being on time is important.
The design pictured is just one of the many pictures Donna sold at the gallery. The platter is similar in size and shape to the one you will be glazing. We hope to have examples of what the two will look like together, in the coming weeks, though, there is so much room for individuality in this project that whatever you make will be a reflection of you.
I am so excited by this class because even the most reticent or reluctant artist to be will find success with this project!
The final platter will be about 10 inches by 6 inches, microwavable, oven proof, and dishwasher safe! It will be available for pick up within 2 weeks after the class. In addition to the platter, Donna will also leave you with a packet of supplies so that you can continue to learn and practice the thousands of Zentangle designs that are out there.
